A tall, tightly set sans with strongly condensed proportions and monoline strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing smooth, superelliptic bowls and softened corners rather than circular forms. Terminals are mostly flat and squared-off, with a consistent vertical rhythm and compact internal counters that stay open enough for display use. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) and simple, sturdy constructions, while the numerals follow the same narrow, vertical cadence.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, high-impact line is needed. It can work well on packaging and signage thanks to its sturdy, simplified forms, and it’s particularly effective in uppercase or short phrases where the condensed rhythm becomes a feature rather than a constraint.
The overall tone feels industrial and utilitarian, with a retro display flavor reminiscent of signage and headline typography. Its narrow stance and squared-round shaping project efficiency and control more than warmth, making it feel assertive and modernist.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, pairing a strict condensed structure with softened, rounded-rectangle geometry for a distinctive display voice. It prioritizes clarity and consistency over calligraphic nuance, aiming for a controlled, engineered look.
The design’s character comes from the tension between rigid vertical stems and softened, rounded-rectangle curves, which creates a distinctive “engineered” silhouette in text. The condensed width amplifies word shapes and gives lines a strong, poster-like texture, especially in all-caps settings.
